“And it was good ….” - a Communion wide Lent course for 2012
The Fifth
Mark of Mission acknowledged by Anglicans – “to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain
and renew the life of the earth” – is sometimes seen as the neglected Mark
across the Communion. Lent 2012 offers an opportunity to redress this,
with the help of a course coming out of the work of the Bible in the Life of the
Church project of the Communion.
The five-week
course will enable individuals and groups to engage with a Bible-wide range of
scriptural passages that speak of our responsibilities in relation to the
environment. It will also offer reflections on how Anglicans in different parts
of the Communion engage with the Bible with discussion questions that challenge
our thinking and behaviour.
The course
will be available both on the web, and as a booklet. It will be
available by Advent this year, but you are able to sample the course on line and order booklets for use in 2012.
The Anglican
Communion Standing Committee highly recommended this course at their meeting
earlier this year.
For further
details contact Stephen Lyon, Coordinator of the Bible in the Life of the Church
project at stephenplyon@gmail.com or click here for a sample of the material.
Looks good so far. Look forward to study.
